Accomplice to the Villain
Book 3: Assistant to the Villain
By: Hannah Nicole Maehrer
Purchase:
Summary: REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to “Evie” or “Stop that.”
Evie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings,” and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.
Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire—or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.
Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain.
A magical office comedy with grumpy bosses, snarky frogs, and definitely-not-feelings.
My Thoughts: I have loved this entire series! It's has romance, comedy, fantasy, magic...a little bit of everything. I can't get enough of the characters! Kingsley is absolutely one of my favorites and this book was definitely for him!
I enjoyed the storyline, The Villain and Evie trying to break Kingsley's curse. I didn't like seeing that troubles that Kingsley was starting to have, because he is such a funny little frog! I did like the ending of this book for Kingsley (I don't want to give any spoilers!). I also really enjoyed the relationship development between Evie and The Villain in this book. It was frustrating at times, but 100% them!
"You just can't kill people and be pretty. It's confusing."
I am unsure of how I feel about what we find out about Evie and The Villain near the end (again, no spoilers!). I still haven't decided if I like this or not. I have very mixed feelings about it.
HIGHLY recommend this series! It's soo good and makes me laugh out loud!
